  1. Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation (JACIE) 7th Annual Workshop held March 25-27, 2008 • USGS, NGA, USDA, and NASA Collaboration • Next Workshop – March 31, April 1-2, 2009 – Washington DC • Workshop information @ http://calval.cr.usgs.gov/jacie.php • Scope includes high and moderate resolutionsatellite & aerial sensors useful to the remote sensing community – U.S. and International systems • New LiDAR and SAR sessions • Independent assessment of product quality and usability • New applications and understanding of remotely sensed data

  2. Digital Imagery components • Satellite Characterization and Calibration • Joint Agency Commercial Imagery Evaluation (JACIE) Team • Moving toward NLIP • CEOS WGCV and GEO calibration test sites • Aerial Mapping Sensor Characterization and Calibration • Film Camera Calibration • Digital Aerial System Product Characterization • Digital Camera Calibration - Small/Medium Format Cameras • In situ Calibration for analog and digital sensors • USGS Quality Assurance Plan for Digital Aerial Imagery • Characterization and Calibration Sites and Validations Sites • Assessment of new Remote Sensing Technologies • Need for Guidelines across other sensors • LiDAR – CLICK and USGS workshop • Work with Standards committee format and metadata • Defense and Intelligence committee • LiDAR subcommittee

  3. Aerial Imagery Quality • USGS Plan for Quality Assurance of Digital Aerial Imagery • Contracting Guidelines • Sensor Type Certification (former cal Manufacturer type certification) • Data Provider Certification • Image Quality Assessment Guidelines • Sponsors: • USGS Land Remote Sensing Program, USGS National Geospatial Program, IADIWG • The Plan: • Certifications will be used in contract evaluation process (starting with USGS and state and local Governments) • Contracting and Image Assessment Guidelines (ongoing) • Education of Federal, State, and Local Gov’t Contracting personnel (ongoing) • Continued research on future systems and small/medium format systems

  4. Center for Lidar Information Coordination and Knowledge (CLICK) The USGS is currently taking the lead in cooperation with many partners in the evaluation of a potential future high-resolution National Light Detection and Ranging (lidar) Dataset. We are in the early stages of determining viability, developing what this dataset should look like, what kinds of information contained in a lidar signal are most important for the U.S. people, and what each stakeholders roles and responsibilities could be. In February 2007, we hosted the first National Lidar Initiative Strategy Meeting at USGS Headquarters in Reston, VA. The presentations and a published summary report from the first meeting can be found on our Center for Lidar Information Coordination and Knowledge (CLICK) web page: http://lidar.cr.usgs.gov. We will be hosting a second meeting May 21-22nd 2008 at USGS Headquarters in Reston, VA to further discuss this mission and hopefully move forward on actions. We are also leading the formation of an Interagency Lidar Working Group to help evaluate, organize and design this strategy with a unified voice.
